   Yeah, unless you were using the guestbook which was being hammered, I'm afraid you are right. I use Firefox, but it's not my main browser and I must confess I didn't do much testing on it. I'll have to look to see how we

   I used Opera for a while, but I didn't recall it doing this. Do you have a link to show what it was able to do?

   Thanks! As a avid user of draw.io, I considered this model, but ultimately I thought that it's best to start with a single local file. Maybe later when people ask for enterprise-type features it'd make sense to host it. It's

   I thought about make it a PWA, but I'm still on the fence about hosting in general. Will probably have to host in order to deal with enterprise use-cases, but I just want to make something simple and cool for now. Thanks for the feedba

   Exactly what we've seen in our company. A lot of techies create these awesome web-app presentations which look awesome and wows everybody, but then some poor person that has Claude but not Claude Code (we somehow decided it was only fo

   I like a bit of good gossip. If you're based in London, let's go out for a beer.

   I'm a bit worried on the UX on mobile, so I did some testing to get at least the basic working! Video also worked better than expected, I love how the video background in the Orbital deck turned out! Thanks for the feedback!

   Thanks! I hope it's good and practical enough to be actual useful (and used regularly by pepole).

   Thanks, people asked about monetization but seriously Github stars is really all it's about.

    Hehe, if we go in the other direction we can call it basepoint.

    That's a great point. I went down the state slide route in order to handle a similar type of use-case, but I'll look into this and see if we can incorporate that somehow. It seems like a really elegant way to implement some state

    Thanks! I'm not familiar with pandoc but I think you can get some data out of the Bento JSON but is not going to be very rich. May be easier to render it to PDF (which works well in Chrome) first.

    Just an update to this phone home issue. I haven't found anything showing that this should be normal behaviour. I'm thinking this may be due to cloudflare challenges due to the traffic spike. In addition to the DO, the whole websi

    Yup, I'm trying to see if we can add arbitrary JS. I think it may be possible, but would take a bit longer to test out different approaches. However I guess the main target audience for this is coders that interact with non-coders when

    Yeah, upgrades are pretty seamless so far as the JSON format for the slide data is pretty forgiving. You can also export and reimport the data. It's in the split pill next to Save.

    You are right, but I guess a lot of people recognise PowerPoint as a brand. Maybe I can bill this as better-than-powerpoint!

    Thanks! If you need anybody to test and feedback, I'll give it a go.

    Thanks! I had to reset the guestbook because it's being spammed. It's on epoch 4 now, hopefully people will be better behaved moving forward! 1. Yes, that's a good point that somebody else raised also. It went pass testing as

    Thanks! That's a really good point. I used Cloudflare DO as it was elegant and convenient, but no reason why we can't run a small daemon to handle the same. I'll work on this later in the week.

    Thanks! It's also my first submission to HN after reading and commenting on here for the last 7 years!

    by starfallg 3mo ago

    Thanks for raising that. It might be in the standard cloudflare/actors SDK I used for Cloudflare Durable Objects. I'll try to disable this behavour and if we couldn't, we'll rip out DO and replace it with something that

    The slide resume behaviour is definitely a bug, I'll take a stab at it shortly. The swipe left on first slide is a feature though, its to help mobile users get back to the editor easily.

    Aw man! Well it is very different to what BentoPDF is doing. I'm sure nobody would get confused!

    The slideshow button is a split pill, you can open it there where there is this tiny up arrow that opens up a drop down menu. But on tablet it probably doesn't do what you want it to as it was built for multi-screen use on the desktop.

    Thanks, you're right, that is the achilles heel. Most of the functionality actually is in the browser. We're just running fancy scripting on it.

    Thanks for the feedback, that's a really good idea! I'll try to roll it out shortly!

    If you have a backend that does processing, I'm sure you can monetise it. But for Bento, the whole idea is to forgo the backend, so I didn't really think about it that much. If an enterprise version comes, I'm sure there is a

    Thanks. That would be a cool feature, and definitely possible. Currently it's already got a feature where you can export and import it's data JSON. We just need to find a way to squeeze a whole frontend in.

    Thanks! It's a project I did in my spare time and it's made with a lot of MIT licensed JS libraries, so it's natural to make this MIT licensed as well. I don't know even know how anybody would start to monetise something

    Good idea! Let me roll that out. I guess you can also print to PDF.
